A woman and an automobil are : simi!«( in that tbey can both d^>c lv« aa to age. One haii to go to the of icial records to find out u l».dy's fnl fg» ' and or.'B must consul ths vit.l sta- I tiM.stics of a motor car to i-e.- h iw o'd I it is. A car is apt to ho as o';l an it lookeith.^t h, a car which hits the best care iiaturaily koeps its looks as wo'l I as its eiTectivenes.s. I ' A car, in traveling over rough roads, especially whera frame and springs , are taxed to the limit, will have a tendency to age rapidly, as this sort "f U'^u tend.s to warp tha frame of a car. Some drivers are rse.n to drive one wheel up on ths curb of the street, , thinking there is little harm in such a procedure. In reilit' this is very ; likely to strain the who'e fraT.e of the car. Since the frame is supposed to bo rigid, if the strain on a left spring is excessive it tsnds to thrust up that ccm-5r of tho car. Result, the frame is overtaxe-d. ' , I The rusting of the frame, whether accompli.shed by driving over a rough road or on a curb, or some other way, tends to loosen the rivets that keep the frams rigid. Consequently, the car beginn to .show .signs of bein? k)09e- jointed. It heeirs to age rapidly. The automobile that trave's on country ' roads, where deep gutters are more numerous, is naturally subjected to; these unfavorable conditions much , more than the car traveling on n city ' ; pavement or a smooth highway. j When the frame becomes more or i i less loose-jointed the body which rests , I upon it begins to twist and diainte- j grate. The frame of the body becomes , loosened. For, when this twisting is j communicated to the body this im- A U roS ALWAYS YOUNG, portant part of the ear cannot utand the strain writhout beginning to 5*11 apart. Rapid deterioration sets in. Take, for instance, an autdnobile v/hirh h::s one wheel in a deep ditch. It wi I Eometimea be impossib'.© to eCose live door of the body. Or if it is a c'osed car it will bo difficult to raise and lower the window.'. This is rfue to the body having been thrust out of shape. Perhaps the construethni of the frame was too light In the first place or maybe its rivets have become loo.Hened. With the coming of balloon tires and the common use of good springs much h>vs been added to the comfort of Hutonwbi^.e passengers. There fea- tures have also greatly prolonged the life of the frame. As »oon as a frame bs-omes twisted and the body become*! racked various rattles and squeaks begin to develop. They represent the protest of the car a«rainst mistreatment. It is then that an automobile canj>e said to be get- ting old. A "coat of paint and varnish may give it a freeh app-.'a.-.ince, but it cannot save ist youth. The machine may still run on for many years, but it will be an old cnr just the same. Even if a consiHcrablo amount of nnoney is spent on it for repairs the results are not likely to be satisfac- torv. Tho iikodern automobile, in good con- dition, is practically no'sr-less. The </V7ner who keepfl the machine properly lubricated, all nuts and b<^lts tight and drives most of- the t;m<> on compar- atively smooth main v.'iM experience none of the annoynnces which come from rattles.
